Delhi Police on Wednesday told the high court that a bunch of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students were carrying out a “peaceful protest” at the varsity’s administrative building against a UGC notification. The move came after the varsity had approached the court seeking help to remove blockade of its administrative building by students. The counsel for Delhi Police counsel told Justice VK Rao that the students were holding a sit-in protest 50 metres away from the administrative block. “The vice chancellor, teachers and staff of JNU are using the administrative block without any hindrance. The varsity claimed official and academic works were affected due to the blockade of the administrative building by students.
